## About Prototype™

Prototype™ is a 2009 open-world action-adventure set in Manhattan, developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Activision. Players control Alex Mercer, a man without memory who becomes a shapeshifting bioweapon. The game features parkour movement, mutation-based combat, an enemy-cancellation system, power-up progression, and nonlinear story unlocks across the city. Reviewers describe the experience as dark, epic, intense, and nostalgic, with players highlighting the fantasy of tearing through enemies like butter, flying freely across Manhattan, karate-kicking helicopters out of the sky, and unlocking devastating powers. It costs $19.99 USD, runs on Steam Deck in playable condition, and holds a 76% positive rating from over 5000 Steam reviews. The game is solo-only, designed for sit-down sessions, with a challenging difficulty curve and medium-length playtime.
